The reduction of internal revenue
and the taking off of revenue stamps
from Proprietary Medicines, no doubt
has largely benefited the consumers,
as well as relieving the burden of home
manufactures, Especially is this the
case with Green's august FloOer and
Boschee's German Syrup, as the reduc-
tion OF thirty-six cents per dozen, has
been added to increase the size of the
bottles containing these remedies, there
by giving one-tifth more medicine in
the rs cent size, The august Floqoer
for Dyspepsia and Liver Compliant,
and The German Syrup for Cough and
Lung troubles, have perhaps, the largest
sale of any medicines in the world
The advantage of increased size Of th'
bottles will be greatly appreciated By
the aek and afflicted, il every toWI
and village in civilized countries. Sam
pie bottles for 10 cents remain th'
same size.

Advertising.

Iberia Enterprise.
In going around town this week so,
Letting advertisements from our mer-
chants, we were met with one objec.
tion that we did not expect, and hence
were not prepared to meet, which was
"that advertising does not pay" We
expected them to plead hard times
wrong season of the year; the circula-
tion of our paper was to small ; our
prices too high, etc., all of which we
were prepared to meet, even to the
proving our circulation to something
less than 5000; but, when We are told
in earnest by merchants-men compo-
tent to carry on mercantile business
in this enlightened year Of 1887, that
advertising does not pay, we were
dumb-not a word to say. What
could we say to such men, when they
reject the experience of the world ?
Can you prove to them that the sun
shines, that night is darker than day ;
that rain vets and makes crops grow,
and other self evident propositions.
None of the above is any more of an
axiom, than that advertising does pay.
We could only think OF the old saw:
"When ignorance is bliss, It's folly to
be wise"

LAKE CHARLES CALCASIEU
A MODERN CASABLANoA.

The boy stood on the burning roof,
Where he for life had fed
The building, being quite flreproof,
With Flames was painted red.
"Jump l'' yelled the horror-stricken crowd.
Jump, hubby from the ridge"
81 can't, he, dancing, shrieked aloud,
"This amt no Brooklyn bridge"
Huge tongues of fame, in fendish joy,
Now darting out like mad,
Commenced to lick that noble boy
As If they were his dad.
The fireman tried, In sad despair,
That gallant youth to soak
Alas No stream could reach him there
And he began to smoke.
Then came voice of thunder sound
From one cool man below
"I'll save you, boy unless you're drowned
Jump when say to GO"
Then snatching up the hose he aimed
A mighty stream on high.
"Jump on that water, ,"fhe exclaimed,
"And grab it tighter die"
Hurrah With one terrific scream
Out leaped that little kid,
And, clinging on that solid stream,
Safe to the ground he slid.

so, and was entirely cured by the use OF

A Wish Complied With.


llIhes-DeMoefat.
II hope that God may paralyze me"
were the words spoken by William
Burklett, at Douglas, Ca, last Tues
day. At once his hands dropped TO
his side, his legs refused to move and
his eyes rolled wildly around. His
prayer was answered as he stood, par
alyzed on the spot, where but a few
moments before he was magnificent
type of physical manhood He tried
to speak, but his tongue would not
move, Half dozen men who were
present were rendered motionless by
the evident visitation of the hand of
God, When they recovered self-pOs-
session they moved the afflicted man
to his residence, half mile distant,
The news soon spread through the
country, and scores Of people called
to see the victim. The physicians can
ascrbe no natural cause for his afllic-
ton,

The Lake Charles Interstate
Convention.


Times Democrat.
The press of Mississippi has rt
ceived with great favor the call Q
Gov. 8. d. McEnery for an Interstat
Convention to meet at Lake Charlie
from Feb. % to Feb. "a, in the inter
est of stock-raising, dairying, fruit
growing, and for the purpose of pro
noting generally the agricultural in
terests of the Southern and South
western States.
The call is made at very appro
pirate time, for Mississippi in particu
lar, which is discussing these very
problems earnestly and wants to con
suit with the other Southern States al
to what is best to be done in the
present crisis. The large migration
of negroes from the hill country tc
the swamps has rendered it necessary
for the former section to devote more
acreage and labor to new agricultural
industries and less to cotton, which
seems to be bound in some way with
negro labor.
The Mississippi press, therefore,
has seized eagerly on the idea OF an
interstate convention proposed oy
Gov. MeEnery, and hopes that the
people of the State will encourage and
assist it. The Raymond Gazette, tor
instance, expresses the following views
on the sablect, large number OF
other papers saying almost the same
thing. Says the Gazette:
1T is to be hoped that tho people
OF this section will manifest an earnest
interest in the proposed meeting and
thus aid IN advancing the Objects and
aims of cause to which the hill coun-
try must look for salvation. AS
strange as 1t may seem to some, indi-
cations point to the fact that the
negro, whe alone can successfully
cultivate cotton, is slowly but surely
drifting toward the new and rich
lands of the Mississippi delta, and we
believe that III less than decade OF
years that section will have become
his main habltation' Assuming 1T as
true, the question arises wv hat Is

experience of the past few years
teaches that our people must abandon
the cultivation OF cotton almost en-
tlrely aud turn their attention to the
raising OF stock, and to the cultivation
OF grain and fruit There is mo

with one-halt tho labor, The conyen'

direction, IN that 1t seeks to advance
the very object the future points out as
calculated to reclaim our waste lands,
build up this section and AFFORD the
greatest satisfaction and real dement,
to our people i
we sincerely trust that Mississippi
